News - Football Manager 2024 Patch 24.2.1 - Minor Hotfix Update

Sports Interactive have just released the third hotfix patch for the final retail version of Football Manager 2024.

This minor update includes numerous changes under the hood that should go a long way to making the game more stable.

The database has been updated further to address some changes in both Germany and Japan. As always, database changes will require a new save game to take effect.

There are two changes to player appearances; one within the Match Engine to ensure players no longer incorrectly appear identical, and another in the backend to ensure NewGen UID’s correctly correspond with their player picture.

Elsewhere, changes in the game include; Restoring the use of the custom profile picture, reformatting Korean currency to now show in the correct long/short form, fixed an issue that caused users to remain in charge of their club’s B-Teams after resigning and have made a change in the Pre-Game Editor to allow custom scores to appear in-game.

Football Manager Pre-Game Editor 2024 has also been updated on Steam, Epic and Microsoft Store.

Date Released: December 11th, 2023
File size: 227.2MB

Many people whine, but no one even writes about the fact that in the game the teams (judging by the match reports) make crooked substitutions. They change players without injuries in the first half, sometimes right away in the 3rd minute, and sometimes even the goalkeeper. There is also a violation of the substitution rules: 5 different players enter the field for substitutions and each of them separately, which is prohibited (you can only have three substitution slots, or 4 if you make one substitution after the first half). This is what needs to be fixed and as quickly as possible, since it doesn’t seem to be difficult - just prohibit computer teams from making substitutions in the first half (if there are no injuries). I'm tired that no one even tries to raise this issue, no one cares, I already wrote on the si forum, why am I the only one doing this?
